From AI Readiness to Results

The complete roadmap for small and medium businesses ready to embrace human-centered AI.

This is my signature offering—a structured, people-first approach to AI adoption that meets you where you are and builds momentum through proven steps.

Investment & Timeline: This program typically runs 4-6 months depending on your starting point and the complexity of your first use case. Pricing is customized based on your business size and needs.

Phase 1: Align & Assess

We start by getting your leadership team on the same page about what AI is, why it matters, and what success looks like for your business. Then we assess your readiness—understanding your current state, identifying gaps, and determining the right starting point.

What you get: Leadership alignment, shared understanding of AI, honest assessment of readiness, and clarity on whether now is the right time and if not, what needs to be addressed first.

Phase 2: Identify & Prioritize

Together, we identify potential AI use cases specific to your business. We evaluate them based on impact, feasibility, and alignment with your goals—then choose where to start.

What you get: A prioritized list of AI opportunities, clear criteria for decision making, and confidence that you’re starting in the right place.

Phase 3: Build & Learn

We implement your first AI use case together. Your team builds hands-on experience, develops AI literacy through actual use, and learns what works in your specific context. I’m there to guide, troubleshoot, and keep people at the center.

What you get: Real implementation experience, increased team confidence and capability, practical AI literacy, and early results you can measure.

Phase 4: Measure & Scale

We measure the impact of your first implementation, capture lessons learned, and build a roadmap for what comes next. You’ll have a clear path forward and the internal capability to continue growing your AI adoption.

What you get: Documented results, a strategic roadmap for future AI initiatives, and a team that’s ready to take on more.

  • Comprehensive readiness assessment covering your people, process, technology, and culture
